Earth's Mightiest Heroes and Ultimate Spidey come to funny books!

In their last round of solicitations, it was revealed that Marvel would be cancelling their ongoing all-ages titles. At the time, they promised that readers could expect information of their new all-ages offerings soon. It seems like that day is today.

Marvel revealed that they'll be launching comic book titles for their upcoming Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon series, dubbed Ultimate Spider-Man Adventures, along with The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes Adventures, based on the hit Disney XD cartoon. Both books will launch in April, alongside the debut of Disney XD's Marvel Universe animation block.

"I couldn't be more excited for Marvel Universe," said Marvel Editor In Chief, Axel Alonso. "There is something special about The Avengers and Spider-Man that speaks to fans of all ages, and with the launch of Marvel Universe on Disney XD this April, what better way to connect the two experiences than these new ongoing series?"

While the books will be great for younger readers, older comics fans should be excited too -- the talent behind these titles is nothing to scoff at. Earth's Mightest Heroes Adventures will be written by Chris Yost with pencils by Adam Dekraker, while Ultimate Spider-Man Adventures will be written by Dan Slott and Ty Templeton, with art by Nuno Plati.
